Logistics research shows 73% of companies actively cutting costs to combat recession
Exclusive
new research by Transport Intelligence (TI) and Kewill has confirmed
that Transport and Logistics Service Providers have had to implement
cost saving measures and make operational efficiencies in response to
the economic climate. Yet implementation times and integration issues
are often a cause for concern when deploying business software to
support these changes.
Jacquie
Boast, Chief Operating Officer Europe at Kewill added, “The results
clearly indicate that businesses need software solutions that integrate
easily with their existing systems, providing an all round picture of
supply chain data and allowing them to respond quickly to changes in
market conditions. The fact that implementation times are such a
concern highlights the need for vendors to focus on phasing projects to
ensure a rapid return on initial investment, securing wider business
support for further phases which deliver wider business benefits and
even greater returns.”
